Calculation of pressure loss of two drilling muds in Noor oil field

الملخص EN

In this work, calculation of pressure losses in circulating system for two drilling muds is evaluated in Noor oil field.

Two types of drilling muds that were used for drilling section 12 1/4" and 8 3/4" which are Salt saturated mud and Ferro Chrome Lignosulfonate-Chrome Lignite mud.

These calculations are based on field data that were gathered from the drilling site of well Noor-15, which are included, rheological data, flow data and specification of drill string.

Based on the obtained results, the best rheological model that fit their data is the Herschel-Bulkley model according to correlation coefficient value for their two drilling mud.

Also, the difference between the calculated pressure loss by Herschel-Bulkley model and standpipe pressure value are very convergence.
